"For you, a garment embroidered with saffron and shining purple;"

Likewise in the same [ninth book]:

"O truly Phrygian women, for not Phrygian men!"

Titinius in Barbato:

". . . I was a phrygio embroiderer at first and knew that work well;
I left the needles and the points to my master and mistress . . ."

Plautus in Menaechmi:

"He brings the cloak to the phrygio embroiderer when the lunch is finished."

Varro in Cosmotoryne, on the corruption of the world:

"The phrygio embroiderer who was able to embroider
the cushion, was fleeing from his seat."

HOSTIMENTVM hostimentum a compensation or exchange is an equalizing: whence 'enemies' (hostes) are also named, who enter a fight from an equal cause. Plautus in Asinaria:

"A hostimentum compensation of equal for equal is given: labor for money."

Whence it is also called to 'hostire' (hostire to compensate or equalize). The same in the same play:

"Indeed I promise, I say, to equalize (hostire) in return, so that you may remember;"

that is, to render an equal return.

TOLVTIM tolutim at a trot or quickly is said as if 'volutim' or 'volubiliter' volubly/rapidly. Plautus in Asinaria:

"I will surely take away from the barley now, if you do not trot (tolutim) on a bay horse."

Novius in Gallinaria:

"O pest-bearing, portent-bearing, savage trot-speaking (tolutiloquentia)!"
